To approve the recommendations
of the Rural England Prosperity Fund Assessment Panel and award
funding to a number of projects in the district relating to active
travel and cultural and heritage buildings. (See annex).

Reasons for the decision

To enable the Council to make
use of the Rural England Prosperity Funding allocated to it by
Government and to approve applications by organisations in the
District which will help the Council to deliver the outputs and
outcomes set out in the REPF Local Investment Plan
addendum.

Alternative options considered

Not to approve the
panel’s recommendations.  To do so
may risk failing to spend the allocation available and not
delivering the outputs and outcomes expected of the
Council.
